A PECULIAR STORY,
In Which Colonel William L
Cloud, OF Sedalia, Figures
Valuable Heritage ia
Litigation.

A telegram in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, from Wabash Indiana,
gives The following particulars in re-
gard To romance in which Sedalia
figures:
"A strange romance has just been
developed at Peru, fourteen miles west
of Wabash. In 1913 Joseph jeffrey,
of Lockport, \. Y, moved to Peru
with his family of one son and three
daughters. The wife was supposed
to be dead, but Jeffrey never alluded
to her. After a number OF years
death claimed the father the son was
killed in the war; the youngest
daughter died some years ago in Sc
dalia, Mo. The other daughters mar
ried and made their homes in Central
America. The oldest followed her
husband to the grave soon after his
assassination by the natives, leaving a
son who also died while making trip
to the United States. The remaining
sister, Sarah, was shortly after left a
widow with $4,000. She returned
to the states, and in the course of time
married Col. VIM. +. Cloud, OF Sc.
dalia, Mo-, prominent man of the
state who assisted old John Brown in
his anti-slavery fights. The wife died
short time since without issue and
bequeathed 1000 to friends in Peru
H.,
Jeffrey, of Washington, n. j., APP
peared IN Peru, armed with legal
authority to break the will of Mrs.
Cloud, who, he claimed, was his half
sister. Jeffrey's story is that Joseph
Jeffrey was married twice, and the
children by his first wife accom-
panied him to Peru when he
deserted his second wife with her
two sons, Oscar and Charles, of whom
Joseph was the father. Mrs, jeffrey
No. 2 moved to Washington, n. j.,
in destitute circumstances, where she |
died, leaving her sons who became |
prominent attorneys there. Accord !
ing t. the laws of Missouri, the prop
erty of Mrs. Cloud descends to blood
relations, and not to her husband.
The half brothers will secure the prop
erty--amounting to a very large sum
If they can prove their relationship.
Col. Cloud is a man Of honor, and
'ays he will pay his wife's legacies

Police Court.

There was a light business done in
the police court yesterday.
q. w. Ready, who answered to the
complaint of failing to repair his side
WALK, stated that as there was no
proper legal notice served upon him,
he desired to be excused from further
process of the court, which was
granted.
w. j. Maltby, violation of side
walks ordinance, plead not guilty.
After hearing of the case, he was
adjudgsd guilty, and a fine of S. and

upon him.
There were no criminal cases OH the

the docket, so that Judge Levens had
comparatively an easy day.

Celebrated in Fine Style Last
Night by the Emmett Guards,
of This City.

There is no anniversary dearer to
the hearts of the loyal sons and
daughters of Erin than the anniver-
sary of the birth of ROber Emmet,
that noble young patriot who loved
his country so well that he counted his
life as naught, when weighed in the
balance against English tyranny,
Feeling thus, it is no wonder that
last night despite of the inclemency of
the weather, the Emmett guards of
this city and their friends, assembled
at Hurley's hail and celebrated the
one hundred and ninth anniversary of
his birth in most enjoyable and ap-
prOpriate manner. The hall was
beautifully adorned with draperies of
bunting and the star and
stripes festooned along the entire side
walls, above which hung portraits If
Emmett and other Irish heroes, inter-
mingled with the typical harp. The
notices were Let the Epitaph be
Written" and The Charity of Its
Silence" At either end of the hall
were elaborate drapings of the stars
and stripes, interspcrsed with the flag
of Erin, the harp, cross and round
towers, the latter being an emblem of
some era in the history of Ireland,
which belongs to forgotten period.
Above the end drapings were also
suitable notices, the one Just opposite
the entrance way being in the Irish
language and readiag, "Caed Mile !
Falthe," meaning, in English. "A
Hundred Thousand Welcomes" The
inscription at the other end read,
"Ireland Nation Once Again"
The entire arrangement of the hall
reflected much credit OH the origin
ators. Refreshments were served on
two long tables, prettily ornamental
with baskets and stands of fruit, con-
sisting of oysters, sardines, salads, an |
abundance of choice cakes. coffee, |
ices, etc. The programme was as fol.
lows:
Address by DR.. Edmonsun; music
by Mrs Ben. Blythe, Mr.. Dean, and
others +; also approi riate tOasts and
responses.
The remarks by DR.. EdmOnson
w-re marked with tina. elegance of
expression which always characterizes
that gentleman, and the glowing
tribute which ne paid to the gallant
young patriot who SD long ago expi-
ated his loyalty with MS life, was
much appreciated and applauded.
Among the guests present were Mr..
and Mrs. f. Hurley, Mr.. and Mrs. p.
